Webmasters Invitational Working Group
July 10-11, 1999


One of the goals of PLANETWORK is to jump-start the greening of informationtechnology. We want to accelerate the evolution of tools and technologieswhich can help people understand, digest, and creatively respond to thevarious ecological crises that will plague the earth in the dawn of the newmillennium. To that end, we are organizing a small invitational working groupthis summer, which will bring webmasters of ecological and environmentalistsites together with a core group of Internet developers, journalists, onlinepublishers and programmers. This one and a half day event will occur onSaturday July 10, through Sunday morning July 11, 1999.

The event will be structured as a working group for between fifty and onehundred participants. It will provide an opportunity for everyone to learnabout and explore the technical challenges and opportunities of a "Green net."Hopefully, the event will also spark the formation of practical groups devotedto hashing out and eventually implementing some of these possibilities. We areespecially interested in discussing the formation of an online "federation" ofenvironmental and ecological websites.

The current schedule outline calls for an opening meeting of all participants,followed by a day's worth of concurrent sessions. These will consist oftechnical tutorials running repeatedly, so that we can keep the size downwhile ensuring that each participant may attend all of the tutorials if he orshe chooses. At the same time there will also be a series of facilitatedtopical discussion and dialogue groups meeting in parallel. Hopefully, the mostsuccessful discussions will spawn online conversations which will continueafter the live event.

On Saturday night a dinner is planned at the Golden Gate Club, along with an informal party that evening. The Club will be wired for fast Internet access and will remain openinto the night for any participants who get into an inspired marathon. Sundaymorning there will be a closing meeting for all participants where people canshare observations, ideas and proposals.
